Shit Bassoonists Say

[1018musackmon]

Why is this all true?

[Nstrumentalist1986]

QUICKEST WAY TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET IS PLAYING THIS INSTRUMENT

[CornelisonRC]

@Nstrumentalist1986 Wow! You must know everything there is to know about music! Please teach me your ways. I would love to hear you play sometime!!! Could you get me some comp tickets to your next performance???!!

Oh.. you can't? I'm sorry. I was totally convinced that you held a prominent position in a major orchestra, because you're clearly so knowledgeable and professional, to say the least. Please keep up with thecomments, I'm sure you're really going to succeed in life with that attitude!

[Nstrumentalist1986]

Basson is prolly the gayest instrumnet ever. by the way elgars romance sounds so much better in cello. CELLO BITCH!!!

[brainykid800]

@Nstrumentalist1986 Ooh! You play the CELLO!? Omg, that's so funny because EVERYONE PLAYS THE FUCKING CELLO. At least our instrument is interesting... Ya dick.

[Nstrumentalist1986]

@brainykid800 only instrument that gaRR33NTEEES no pussy but a complete everyday masturbation from middle school to college

[koumirien]

That kind of looks like Juilliard...?

[GridJumping]

Very true but the most common things I said as a bassoonist were: "No, it's not a big oboe. It's a bassoon." "Fagotte. Yeah, that's my sheet music. Yeah, you're hilarious - never heard that one before."  "This is as forte as it gets."

[GridJumping]

@GridJumping Oh and:  "Tenor clef, son of a ...."

[PinkLipGlossKS]

i thought the left hand was on topp? yall are backwards /:

[LondonClarinetist]

1:16 "wait..you practise that??" classic!

[JJBRMusic]

YOU HAVE THE DOCTOR WHO POLICE IN THE BOX. RESPECT SKYROCKETS. XD



[ifihadadime4]

Awesome and hilarious but why was there no mention of west side story? ;)

[MrBass00n]

David McGill quote!

[davidchenpiano]

i enjoyed losing my hearing to the volume contrasts in this video. but great XD

[NessaSpring]

1:05 TARDIS!!!!! :D

[disc14jockey]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! DAMN..... 1:10

[PinkLipGlossKS]

why is your right hand on topp...i thought it was the left?

[STMAKnightMike]

I love it! What is the first note of The Rite of Spring?

[shortandsmall92]

@STMAKnightMike C

[DimebagBorgir]

The best part about this is the volume differences between the speech and the bassoon.

Knock Knock. Who's there? Bassoon. Bassoon Who?

BUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABU­DA

[ughUSERNAME]

speaking is way too low..bassoon playing made me deaf after trying to turn it up to hear the words. :(

[shortandsmall92]

@ughUSERNAME I'm sorry! This was VERY low budget and done in just a couple of hours one day after school.

[switchfootsbassoon]

"My face hurts." THAT IS SO ME.

[marydoob]

Genius!

[xHuntedGunzPCGx]

The articulation was the best thing...lol

[TimeAgent007]

"I should really be making reeds right now."

But seriously, I should be. Oh, the joys of double reed instruments...

[bassoonboy91]

I LOVE this.....and all of the returning to those A's of doom in Marriage of Figaro. :D

[antonellaaquintana]

i really should be making reeds :\

[Kanimoto]

This video was great (minus the messed up sound). Is it sad that the exposition of the Mozart had me laughing the most? I can't count the number of times I've played that...

[AZNwannabe06]

Do some volume regulation and this could be a much better video.

[BassCausality]

@AZNwannabe06 Too busy making reeds to know how to do that.

[MarcoAJuarez]

"Wait...you actually practiced that?! I just fake it- NO one can even hear you!"

[AllyxPlaysBassoon]

Hahahaha, LOVE the David McGill reference and "Oh, I single tongue Beethoven's 4th" too funny!!

[MarcoAJuarez]

@AllyxPlaysBassoon Those are the gems of this vid. My roommate didn't understand why started laughing hysterically. I had to show him the reference in Sound in Motion and play the Marriage of Figaro track from McGill's Excerpt CD

[percy0930]

Lmao! Tchaik 4 finale!

[Toast579]

0:43 is that seriously the highest note you can get out?

[shortandsmall92]

@Toast579 HAHAHA no, it's the first note of Rite of Spring, played badly.

[Toast579]

@shortandsmall92 ok lol good...thats one of the things i would always try to get higher and higher...it got ridiculous some times O>O

[Erikkuiv]

@shortandsmall92 i was thinking exactly that!

[MarcoAJuarez]

@Toast579 I kind of thought she was trying to get a high E out

[Bassoon8]

l2playbsn newbs

[nerdybassoonchica]

They're playing it backwards or the video got switched around.... O_o the bell should be on our right...

[CynStacy]

OH MY GOD, LOL AT TCHAIK 4.

[kennydinoboy]

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[OrangeeSVU]

"Wait, you actually practiced that? I just fake it. No one can even hear you!" Truth. Almost all of the hard orchestra licks are covered up by a million stupid string and brass players. smh. I'm...gonna go make reeds now...

[MarcoAJuarez]

@OrangeeSVU That's why they become our audition excerpts...so that we can't fake them when it comes time to perform them...

[OrangeeSVU]

@MarcoAJuarez Isn't that the truth. Audition excerpts really are the bane of my existence (besides making reeds). Also, the "Of course I flick that!" is so relevant. When someone first taught me how to flick, I was pissed I hadn't been using it all the years before!

[tylernicholas]

@OrangeeSVU baaaaaaaahahahahah

[SamuelJosiahMoore]

@OrangeeSVU Also, that's from the finale from Tchaik 4. Everyone is playing something like fortissimo there.

[00014owl41000]

Sounds about right.
